absolutely not buying corporate garbage made in this country anymore. I'll fucking import a kei truck, I don't care.

Yeah we're stocking up on everything we can now, so we can tighten our belts and hopefully save some money over the next few years, but also not directly give the oligarchs any more of our money. I've been researching local and woman owned businesses that I'd like to support for the necessities, and thankfully our grocery store is a local chain. I have a friend who is offering to make basic clothing, including underwear, in exchange for childcare, eggs, and produce. People around here are going to get creative and it's actually giving me some hope that things won't be as bad as we think.

Out of curiosity, what things are you stocking up on?

It's a long list but here's a comment I shared in another thread that might give you an idea: https://lemmy.world/comment/13394779

If you want our actual list just let me know and I can message you this evening. But it's 2 handwritten pages 😬

Great list to start and points me in the right direction. We have two toddler and a new baby who came 10 weeks early so he’s in the nicu. Trying to get things for them as well as us and our two dogs. Good to know, thanks for the info
